Exploring the Sources of Unexpected High Methane Concentrations and Fluxes From Alpine Headwater Streams

The dynamics of methane generation and evasion from well-oxygenated, oligotrophic streams have been traditionally neglected. We estimated evasion of methane and assessed its sources and production pathways using a stable isotope approach in 16 oxygen-rich ...

3-D micro-architecture and mechanical response of soil cemented via microbial-induced calcite precipitation

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis

We introduce the application of microbial-induced calcite precipitation via the ureolytic soil bacterium Sporosarcina Pasteurii in freeze-dried form, as a means of enhancing overall MICP efficiency and reproducibility for geotechnical engineering applicati ...

Effects of flooding on phosphorus and iron mobilization in highly weathered soils under different land-use types: Short-term effects and mechanisms

Thomas Guillaume

The strong affinity of phosphorus (P) to iron (Fe) oxides and hydroxides in highly weathered tropical soils limits P availability and therefore plant productivity in tropics. In flooded soils, however, P fixed by Fe oxides and hydroxides can be released in ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields and Their Induced Currents on Buried Cables. Part II: The Effect of a Horizontally Stratified Ground

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Keyhan Sheshyekani

We use a finite element method (FEM) to evaluate the effect of a horizontally stratified two-layer ground on underground lightning electromagnetic fields and their induced currents on the shield of buried cables. It is shown that the azimuthal component of ...

Interactive effects of depth and temperature on CH4 and N2O flux in a shallow podzol

Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Measuring and modelling the efflux of greenhouse gases from soils is crucial for gauging ecosystem responses to climate and land-use change, and potential contributions and feedbacks to gas emissions. Upland soils with high amounts of organic matter can pr ...

Spatio-temporal heterogeneity of riparian soil morphology in a restored floodplain

Claire Guenat, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Edward Mitchell, Bertrand Fournier

Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However, d ...

The influence of pH on iron speciation in podzol extracts: Iron complexes with natural organic matter, and iron mineral nanoparticles

The quantities of natural organic matter (NOM) and associated iron (Fe) in soil extracts are known to increase with increasing extractant pH. However, it was unclear how the extraction pH affects Fe speciation for particles below 30 nm. We used flow field- ...

Coupled effects of canal lining and multi-layered soil structure on canal seepage and soil water dynamics

David Andrew Barry

Ponding tests were conducted in the Shiyang River Basin in Northwest China to assess canal leakage characteristics. Four anti-seepage constructions (concrete lining, pebble lining, clay lining plus compacted canal bed, compacted canal bed only) were perfor ...

Impact of flood deposits on earthworm communities in alder forests from a subalpine floodplain (Kandersteg, Switzerland)

Claire Guenat, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Jean-Michel Gobat, Renée-Claire Le Bayon

In many ecosystems, bioindication is a tool to estimate biodiversity and quality of environment. In soils,invertebrates are generally suitable bioindicators, especially earthworms. In floodplains, young alluvial soils are exposed to sedimentation and erosi ...

The diffuse infiltration of road runoff: an environmental improvement

Aurèle Parriaux, Michaël Bensimon, Pascal Piguet

The Laboratory of Engineering and Environmental Geology (GEOLEP) has been mandated by Swiss authorities (Swiss Federal Road Office FedRO) to test a new road runoff management concept. This concept promotes the diffuse infiltration of road runoff into infil ...
